can you send me the instructions on the green striped beanie for baby i get to round four and than you say stictch 2 single crochet than i don't underrstand what you say next. glbowtie@midco.net thank you
Hi, My daughter's head is 16.5 inches and I want to make it alittle bit bigger than what you are making. I am done with all the rounds and I was wondering how I would do the increases. Would it be 1 SC in first 2 stitches, then 2 SC in 1 stitch and so one for 55 stitches? I don't know how to figure that part out!!! PLEASE HELP!! I have just started learning to crotchet 2 days ago! And I have watched this video a total of atleast 15 times already. Love your work!
Hey Teresa! You're very helpful thank you! But my aunt is trying to make this beanie for her nephew except we both got stuck on round 5 do we do the same as round 2 I think where you put 2 sc in one and then 1 sc in the other 2?
Hi, the pattern is great, I just have a small issue...
I made this baby hat, and after the baby wore it a few times the bottom got streched out and now it's too big. How can I prevent this next time? Thank you
Hi! Loved the video. Very helpful. :) I Just wanted to know the finished length and circumference of the cap, so that i know if I've got the right size. Thanks. :)
these video tutorials seem to be the way to go for me. I've had very skilled people try and teach me and I've tried learning from books to no avail. I've only ever made very plain blankets with a stitch that, by all accounts, I must've made up because it doesn't exist. But I think I can do this.
@Christopherslady yes you can add a brim. I will estimate about 15-20 stitches. You will have a better idea as you are working them. Work a slip stitch to secure and round the brim on the end of each row. Three rows will probably be enough.
Great video, thanks so much! I'm 29 weeks pregnant and so excited to be crocheting my first baby hat. I have crocheted many scarves, but never hats. I have a question - my hat has turned out having 65 stitches instead of 48 at row 9! How did this happen? I followed your video very closely and don't feel I added any extra stitches! Will this make the hat way too big for a newborn? Thanks for your help!
@AlissKD Extra stitches will make the hat larger. I am not sure how you got extra stitches. I would suggest that you finish the hat and make a second hat counting closely so the hat stays smaller.
@tjw1963 Thank you for the quick response! I counted SO closely! I'm a perfectionist so it's driving me crazy that this happened! I'll finish it and then make another and see what happens. I almost wonder if I'm not putting my needle in the right place when I crochet the stitches. Do you suggest I make it longer than 22 rows now since it's a bigger hat? At 65 stitches, how old of a baby do you think it will fit?
HELP!! I am making this hat in one solid color. Do I chain one at the end of the row? Before starting the new? The hat seems to have raised rows. I made this same hat with the changing of colors and it turned out wonderful. But has thrown me with staying on a solid color. Not sure what to do. :) Thank you.
@harleydiva1200cc I recommend that you stagger where you start each round so you do not have a raised seam. Staggering is just attaching the yarn in another location(stitch) when you change color. When you join, make sure you are putting your hook below the two loops below the starting stitch. This will help reduce a visible seam.
I started making this for my cousin's 6 month old Daughter..I used a I hook and 4 ply yarn...and I'm not sure it's going to fit her or not. I'm on round 21. Is there anything I can do at this stage to make it bigger?
hi, this video is fantastic although i am completely hopeless first time roud, i will at least have to watch it ten more times. hah thank you very much!!
if you watch this video and others and still don't know how to begin with the magic loop, maybe crocheting isn't for you. Plus, you don't have to start with the magic loop. You can just chain 3 or 4; join at the beginning and then single crochet in the middle of the circle that you created. I have not crocheted before and learned everything from these videos. I now make beautiful things and can read patterns. My baby girl just has the cutest hats, head-bands, cardigans. Thank you Teresa.
I just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. It was exactly what I was looking for! It was simple and very easy to follow. I appreciate the written instructions as well. Thanks again!
So.... this wonderful woman is giving FREE crochet lessons on youtube including slow motion clips and there are some posters who are so incredibly rude.

When you post sarcastic comments, you make yourself look like a total buffoon. Theresa is such a class act, even when someone is rude, she is still respectful.
@Yellowpeep Very true.. Some dumb people dont know how to use youtube or internet and then blame Teresa. Teresa you are a sweetheart, No one teaches as you do and you even take time to clear our doubts. Even I am a beginner and I asked u hw to start with the Crochet and according to your instructions i did it. I went to your blog and learnt the beginner stitches first, and then started with the other project. In 3 days i learnt all stiches, did a baby beanie and mobile phone pouch.Tnx a ton

I wish you would re-upload the very beginning where you do the magic loop. You did it too fast here and I didn't get it. (I'm a visual learner,so written instructions wouldn't do me any good lol) Other than that...this video is very helpful. =)
I am only on round 6 and my hat is already turning into a mini hat. Is it supposed to do that? I have never done a hat before (adult or baby) so I'm not sure how big exactly this will be..
@thecali4 You may naturally crochet tight or are using smaller yarn which will make the cap smaller. The easiest way to make the cap larger is to use a larger crochet hook. The next way to make the cap larger is to modify with additional increase rounds and stitches.
@soniaxsoniaxsonia - Hey turd , she doesn't have to show us any of it! Stop your entitlement snotty attitude and be grateful!! Sheesh! Don't be rude dude!
@tjw1963 Great so just to be clear, I should start the hat the same way you did with 10 stitches, 20, 27, etc and just do more increase rounds before I start with the continuous single crochets?
First, thank you so much for providing your videos! I was not able to learn any other way in the past. I really look forward to viewing them.
I do have a question on the striped beanie regarding round 3. It says sc in each for 2 stitches, then double in third stitch. That makes 4 total and does not factor into the 27 total for that line. I've tried it many ways and am afraid I'm just not getting it. Can you help?
@Tracilynn0813 The written instructions are posted on my crochet blog. There are 7 increase stitches evenly worked around this round. It is not necessary for everything to mathematically fit perfect as long as the stitches are evenly placed. It will still look alright.
Teresa , I've done your baby hat and the salamon's knot dress and it came out beautiful . Do you have patterns for sweaters for toddler shes 2 yrs old. thanks mena
HI Teresa, I was looking for the Half double crochet baby beanie video that you did and cannot find it anymore. I noticed that you are doing an overhaul, and wondered if you will be reposting it. thank you so much for all of your hard work to help us learn this great art.
@lunaqua No videos were supposed to be deleted with the maintenance I was doing so this is a big error. I have written to YouTube and hope that they will restore the video. If they don't, I will repost them again.
I have come back to crocheting after a long absence, and want to thank you for teaching me! I have watched a number of your videos and they have been a great help.
It sounds as though you are continuing to increase to much maybe. Increasing is where you are putting two stitches in one stitch so the cap will expand and get larger. I also have written instructions on my crochet blog. The link to the written instructions is posted to the right of the video under "More Info".
What great tutorial video! I made this hat for my 5 year old daughter. You have re inspired my lost hobby of crocheting. I had lost interest when I had trouble with making the chain four ring...so thanks for introducing me to the magic loop it truly is magical. lol!
I would use something soft like Caron or the Red Heart soft yarn. Both are acrylic. I like the 4-ply better than the sport weight which takes longer to work up. You may find that you like the baby yarn better.
Hi..My friend is pregnant and I crocheted this beanie just now for her baby. It has come out beautifully. :) Thank you for this amazing tutorial. my next project is the baby booties..:)
This is where gauge plays a role. You crochet at least a 4x4 inch swatch. The swatch will tell you how many stitches are made for that yarn and crochet hook. You will need to have a basic understanding of increasing to modify. This means you may have more stitches in a round than the original pattern to compensate for the smaller yarn or smaller crochet hook.
ya as i told u i was on the 22nd rnd, now the increase is by just half an inch for 3 rnds. now my cap size is just 9 inches.i feel the cap is going out of shape...it was 8.5 inches till 22 rnds now its increasing.what am doing is right? confused whether to continue.
hi i'm a new crocheter.being inspired by ur videos i;ve made a basket,bingobag,baby bootie. it all turned out fine,am trying this baby beanie.i used a different hook and added 2 more rnds to increase the size now i've made 22 rnds and ended up with a relatively small cap. is there any alternative 2 increase the size at this point or just do a new one.
You would need to add 2 increases evenly on your new round for the cap to increase. You can try 1 single in each of the next 3 and the two in the same stitch.
also, how would the end result differ if i use a diffrent type of string
(one thats not too thin but the type i want for the beanie {lightweight cotton yarn} (i dont want to use the 4 ply worsted yarn because its kinda furry, which i dont want))
Im just learning how to crochet and am using your other videos to learn how to do all teh terms you mention throught the video. can i follow the instructions you are giving here but with a diffrent sized hook to make the striped beanie for a 4-6 year old's head... if so, what size hook should i use or changes should i make when following your instructions, or will it not work at all?
The hat would be made for the size of their head. I have used a size H hook for a 15" hat and a size I hook for an 18" hat. You could try using a size J hook and possible come up with something to fit their head. You will need to crochet additional rounds for a longer length.
It will depend on the size of the head of the 1 year old. I recently crochet this pattern with a size I/5.5mm crochet hook, 4 ply yarn and made a cap that would fit an 18" head.
start with something more simple like a scarf. that was my first piece that i made by crochet. its simple and thats what beginners should start with. oh and u have to learn the basics too
I've been trying to learn how to crochet by watching videos but its so confusing!!! i would ask my grandmother to teach me but she's left-handed and i'm not =( WHAT DO I DO?!
you can learn how to do it left handed i write right handed but i live around lefties so i have to just get used to it and if you just have to learn to do it that way
the yarn i ve bought doesnt say how many ply it is. its quite thin. i ve finished round 3 but it doesnt look as big as yours. you keep increasing until round 7 then its just 1SC until the end.
for my thin yarn, until how many rounds do you think i should increase? (i am always confused with the increasing!)
i tried with two extra increase rounds... for some reason am not getting it right. i made two beanies using your HDC baby beanie tutorial and they came out perfect. but this one (so far) doesnt seem to become a beanie. it looks more like a flower after 13-14 rounds... i think i will start again from scratch ;(
Hehehe...silly me thought you finished the hat in 15 minutes but you were right it didn't take me much longer than 1 hour for the full product and it turned out very nice for my first time! Thanks to your wonderful video I have mastered the beanie cap and now my whole family is wearing them!:)
WOW! What a beautiful hat and it was done in under 15 minutes! Your tutorial is the best one i've seen. I'm going to make this hat tonight for my little boy. Thanks!!!
Thank you. It will take longer to make the actual cap. I edited portions of each round so full rounds are not shown. You should be able to get this cap done in less than an hour.
i did this....only on a smaller scale for my dog. it's soo cute. we just had her fur trimmed so it's keeping her head toasty dduring these cold days! thansk so much for sharing yor knowledge. I wish you a happy holiday weekend
I bet it is cute. I would love to see a picture. I would even post it on my crochet blog if you gave me permission. A lot of people would get a big kick out of it.
Thanks. That's really cool that you show all different techniques instead of sticking to what your favorite is - that way people can try all the different methods themselves and see what works for them.
can you send me the instructions on the green striped beanie for baby i get to round four and than you say stictch 2 single crochet than i don't underrstand what you say next. glbowtie@midco.net thank you

please help.. I have made two of these and each time as I go the beanie gets bigger and bigger and looks more like a hat than a beanie??

It sounds as though you are continuing to increase to much maybe. Increasing is where you are putting two stitches in one stitch so the cap will expand and get larger. I also have written instructions on my crochet blog. The link to the written instructions is posted to the right of the video under "More Info".

What great tutorial video! I made this hat for my 5 year old daughter. You have re inspired my lost hobby of crocheting. I had lost interest when I had trouble with making the chain four ring...so thanks for introducing me to the magic loop it truly is magical. lol!

You are welcome. Happy crocheting. :)
tjw1963 2 years ago
Hello! love your videos! can you use a chain at the begging instead of the magic loop?
jgsalazar100 2 years ago
Yes, you can use a chain 3, join instead of the magic loop.

What kind of yarn should I use for a newborn baby? Cotton? Or baby yarn which is acrylic, I think?
Thank you.
genevalou 2 years ago
I would use something soft like Caron or the Red Heart soft yarn. Both are acrylic. I like the 4-ply better than the sport weight which takes longer to work up. You may find that you like the baby yarn better.
tjw1963 2 years ago
I will take a look at these kinds the next time I'm shopping for yarn. Thank you for your quick reply!

Thanks this is just the hat I was looking for. I love to crochet and your videos are just great. Thanks again for this design.

Hi,
was just wondering how you would adjust this pattern for different yarn and crochet hooks but still get it to fit the same sized baby
nicolelolytte 2 years ago
This is where gauge plays a role. You crochet at least a 4x4 inch swatch. The swatch will tell you how many stitches are made for that yarn and crochet hook. You will need to have a basic understanding of increasing to modify. This means you may have more stitches in a round than the original pattern to compensate for the smaller yarn or smaller crochet hook.
tjw1963 2 years ago
I used a 4mm size hook.and after adding
those rnds i've got an extra brim,which makes it look like a hat.
thanks for ur response.
bfar84 2 years ago
i used size 9 steel hook.
bfar84 2 years ago
I used a 5MM aluminum crochet hook so that will explain why you hat came out small.
tjw1963 2 years ago
ya as i told u i was on the 22nd rnd, now the increase is by just half an inch for 3 rnds. now my cap size is just 9 inches.i feel the cap is going out of shape...it was 8.5 inches till 22 rnds now its increasing.what am doing is right? confused whether to continue.
bfar84 2 years ago
What size crochet hook are you using?
tjw1963 2 years ago
thanks 4 ur response.i did 3more rnds as u'd suggested.shud i continue in the same manner ?
bfar84 2 years ago
Is the cap expanding and getting larger?
tjw1963 2 years ago
hi i'm a new crocheter.being inspired by ur videos i;ve made a basket,bingobag,baby bootie. it all turned out fine,am trying this baby beanie.i used a different hook and added 2 more rnds to increase the size now i've made 22 rnds and ended up with a relatively small cap. is there any alternative 2 increase the size at this point or just do a new one.
thanks 4 all ur videos.
bfar84 2 years ago
You would need to add 2 increases evenly on your new round for the cap to increase. You can try 1 single in each of the next 3 and the two in the same stitch.
tjw1963 2 years ago
would i be able to make this hat to fit a newborn preemie?
teartear 2 years ago
With some modification. You would not do as many rounds with increases and modify the hat size for a premie.
tjw1963 2 years ago
also, how would the end result differ if i use a diffrent type of string
(one thats not too thin but the type i want for the beanie {lightweight cotton yarn} (i dont want to use the 4 ply worsted yarn because its kinda furry, which i dont want))
beanhead192837465 2 years ago
Using a different yarn will result in a different size. Most likely you could have a different size anyway with your crochet style and tension.

beanhead192837465 2 years ago
Im just learning how to crochet and am using your other videos to learn how to do all teh terms you mention throught the video. can i follow the instructions you are giving here but with a diffrent sized hook to make the striped beanie for a 4-6 year old's head... if so, what size hook should i use or changes should i make when following your instructions, or will it not work at all?
beanhead192837465 2 years ago
The hat would be made for the size of their head. I have used a size H hook for a 15" hat and a size I hook for an 18" hat. You could try using a size J hook and possible come up with something to fit their head. You will need to crochet additional rounds for a longer length.
tjw1963 2 years ago
Will this fit a one year old boy?
nicolelolytte 2 years ago
This one will fit a 6 month old. If you use a larger hook like an I or J size hook, the cap will fit a larger head.
tjw1963 2 years ago
ok... I am using a 7.00mm hook and 8 ply yarn. do you think that will fit a one year old if i do all 22 rows?
nicolelolytte 2 years ago
if i use a size J hook and 4 ply baby yarn will this fit a 1 year old boy?
nicolelolytte 2 years ago
It will depend on the size of the head of the 1 year old. I recently crochet this pattern with a size I/5.5mm crochet hook, 4 ply yarn and made a cap that would fit an 18" head.
tjw1963 2 years ago
I can't start! ... It's so hard ... This is my first attempt to make something in crochet.

I've been trying to learn how to crochet by watching videos but its so confusing!!! i would ask my grandmother to teach me but she's left-handed and i'm not =( WHAT DO I DO?!
bekahb0022 3 years ago
What are you finding confusing?
tjw1963 3 years ago
you can learn how to do it left handed i write right handed but i live around lefties so i have to just get used to it and if you just have to learn to do it that way
karategirlme 2 years ago
isnt it the same?
RK701997 2 years ago
Sit across from your Grandma. I did that with my Aunty and I learn just find. She was a lefty and me a righty.

ok i ve got it now :)
the yarn i ve bought doesnt say how many ply it is. its quite thin. i ve finished round 3 but it doesnt look as big as yours. you keep increasing until round 7 then its just 1SC until the end.
for my thin yarn, until how many rounds do you think i should increase? (i am always confused with the increasing!)
nielou1289 3 years ago
Maybe 3 or 4 more increase rounds.
tjw1963 3 years ago
i have been trying to watch this video many times, but it just wont open!!! could you plz send me a diff link, if you ve one?
nielou1289 3 years ago
It should be working.
tjw1963 3 years ago
yes it is now....
i tried with two extra increase rounds... for some reason am not getting it right. i made two beanies using your HDC baby beanie tutorial and they came out perfect. but this one (so far) doesnt seem to become a beanie. it looks more like a flower after 13-14 rounds... i think i will start again from scratch ;(
nielou1289 3 years ago
You mentioned that your yarn is thin. I would suggest that you use two strands of your yarn at the same time to make this cap.
tjw1963 3 years ago
i find two strands pretty difficult ;D will try
nielou1289 3 years ago

Hehehe...silly me thought you finished the hat in 15 minutes but you were right it didn't take me much longer than 1 hour for the full product and it turned out very nice for my first time! Thanks to your wonderful video I have mastered the beanie cap and now my whole family is wearing them!:)

WOW! What a beautiful hat and it was done in under 15 minutes! Your tutorial is the best one i've seen. I'm going to make this hat tonight for my little boy. Thanks!!!
elisasickles 3 years ago
Thank you. It will take longer to make the actual cap. I edited portions of each round so full rounds are not shown. You should be able to get this cap done in less than an hour.

Tyzue 3 years ago
I wanted to show both ways. Either way can be applied to the adult cap or baby cap. You can do the baby cap carrying the yarn.
tjw1963 3 years ago
Thanks. That's really cool that you show all different techniques instead of sticking to what your favorite is - that way people can try all the different methods themselves and see what works for them.
Thanks again!
